My tent has been kicking around for 3 days, I would love to give you an IP to test but I dont fancy inviting possible camp raiders :rolleyes:

Hehe I mean surviving the Bambi stage to become a nasty mean pirate! Argh ;D Nah just surviving to that point where you are fed, healthy and have some weapons / supplies and are no longer at risk of starvation and can start thinking about getting geared up, or farming, I'm keen to try this out now, also to try hunting but having not seen a single match since 0.54 I think I will wait. I have 2 flares but that is only 2 fires and I know I will probably mess up, so more looting for me first. Tents are now persistent as well as backpacks, provided you add or remove something from them every few days to reset their timers. Although Alpha so expect them to go bye bye at some stage, I foolishly thought that persistenence meant I could drop all my shiny waters bottles and water filled Jerry "Fuel" Can on the ground and they would stay there.......... this did not happen :'( It is also the reason I have not tried farming, my shiny Pickaxe and shovel disappeared.

Hey OP, I hear you, for a few days back there I was tearing my hair out, squealing that loot was broken, nothing new was respawning and zombies were hardcore! I kept giving up and saying enough but I love the game too much having only started playing like 3 weeks ago, anyway I kept going back again and again like bashing my head against a rock. Now, I have a nice camp, a few weapons, food supplies, water supplies spare clothing, and this is after N00bing with a broken leg and finding a kind zombie to send me back to bambi land, worked my way back and had a second set of gear by the time I made it. I think the big difference for me was one of those restarts after getting eaten and having no rags or bandages and just letting the zombies have me I said I'm going to play this like it is real, once I did that everything changed, I went 3 hours as a bambi without being spotted by a single zombie, and when I did I just ran away. Also I realised open doors doesnt mean no loot, I've found good loot with open doors. Oh and look in the toilets!!!!!!!!!! Searching outdoor toilets has yeilded top grade loot for me. Assault vests, ammo, balaclava's, food............... hey its the apocalypse, dont judge, I see food I'm eating it ;) So I've survived about 3/7 Bambi's since 0.55 but since I started playing like my life was at stake, I've survived 3/3, so slow, calm and aware of whats around you and MOST IMPORTANT! Never ever give up!!! Be safe out there! I seem to remember also that someone said some servers actually werent respawning loot but I never confirmed that.

I'm Playing a server with X24 time, loving it, although I did get lost in the woods one night :S By the time morning came I was thoroughly lost.
